A good place to escape the summer heat and cool down - Dongguan Keyuan

Keyuan is famous for its "small size and exquisite design", artistically integrating courtyards, residences, and study rooms. It was first built in the 30th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty and is one of the key cultural relics protection units in the country. 🌳 📍Location: No. 32, Keyuan Road, Guancheng, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province 🚌Transportation: Dongguan Bus No. 4, 7, 22, 28, 45, 46, 58, 622, 627, G1, G2, G4, G5, L5, Ax20, ×26, Guan 75 to Keyuan Station 🅿️Parking lot: Two parking lots at the south/north gate 🎫Tickets: Free for the comprehensive museum area, 8/person for the ancient building area, free for children aged 6 and under or under 1.2 meters in height ⏳Suggested tour time: 1 hour 🌳 Keyuan is mainly divided into two areas: Keyuan Museum and the ancient building area. The structure is made of blue bricks, wood and stone, and the architecture is also very exquisite. The window bars, beauty backrests and even the floor all have their own styles. Its layout is uneven, interconnected and winding. There are more than 130 entrances and 108 columns in the garden, including pavilions, towers, halls, terraces, bridges, corridors and embankments. Looking for a quiet place in the noisy city, Keyuan, with its unique Jiangnan garden style, has become an ideal place for me to relax. As soon as you step into Keyuan, it feels like you have traveled through time and space and arrived in ancient Jiangnan. Small bridges, flowing water, winding paths, every step is in the rhyme of poetry. It is perfect to come here to escape the heat and cool down in summer.
